Orioles Down Yankees 4-2

Chris Tillman took a three-hitter into the eighth inning and the Baltimore Orioles beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night in a game that featured an on-field confrontation between the teams' managers.

With the victory, the Orioles moved within 1+ games of idle Tampa Bay for the second AL wild card. The Yankees fell three games behind Tampa Bay.

Tillman allowed two runs and four hits in seven-plus innings. He walked none and struck out nine, matching his career high.

Both dugouts emptied briefly after the first inning, when Orioles manager Buck Showalter angrily exchanged words with Joe Girardi after the Yankees manager apparently said something to Baltimore third base coach Bobby Dickerson. Showalter had to be restrained by home plate umpire Ed Hickox
